While all the world listens to the radio device and hears fear- laden, doctored news on devastating world affairs, La Encina goes to press. What will conditions be like when the intimate record of an eventful year is searched by the students in the gardens a few weeks hence? Our times move so swiftly. The hand of the destroyers reach out to new hitherto protected areas and apparently there is no certainty for the peaceful pursuit by intelligent persons of good will anywhere. It would be weakness and avoidance of our mam concern if in our greeting we did not write of our awareness and our deep sor- row that such is our contemporary world. Within the walls there is a quickening. We recognize an increase of respect for the independent college where human welfare and enrichment dominate the scene. We feel the in- spiration of a widening circle of friends, of improved equip- ment, of more effective organization, of a full student enroll ment. and a more enthusiastic endorsement of Occidental ideals. The present generation of undergraduates, it appears to me, cares more deeplv, examines itself with more wisdom, and speaks more courageously for the permanent, unchanging values which the kind of education fostered here would make clear and effectual. To all who look at Occidental with a sense of belonging and who enter in and go forth desiring that they themselves and this devoted college shall work for the increase of the good, we send our special greeting. May their sight be ever clearer; mav their number increase; may the college, one year of student participation recorded here, move forward to such ends. rf.msen d. bird.

The name La Encina, or Live Oak, was chosen by the Class of 1907 for the college year book because that tree. 111 a peculiar way, seemed to them to symbolize three qualities of Occidental-beauty, strength, and gracious hospitality. Year by year, for nearly three decades and a half. La Encina has chronicled the history of Occidental, given to students a lasting record of their college life, and furnished a rich treasure house for memory against the day when they must look back down the long corridor of time to see themselves and their classmates as the under- graduates of today. Despite the confused horror and tragedy abroad, the year iq q-40 has witnessed extraordinary accomplishments in the development of the college, of which two new dormitories are but concrete, visible symbols. Intellectual and spiritual forces commensurate with this material progress also move with sureness and power among our col- lege body. As this number of La Encina makes so evident. Occidental now stands at the threshold of the morning. robert g. cleland. Dean of Faculty. ADMINISTRATION r. Robert G. Clelar Dean of Faculty
